Outstanding Mask
Reviewer:
Michael Guerrero
Very low volume, fast to clear.
Use soft scrub and scrub 6 or 7 times (1 - 2 min each time) in a row to remove the residue left from manufacturing. Then coat the inside with baby soap and let dry. Before diving, pour a little fresh water in the mask and swirl around to smooth out the baby soap streaks. You will have no fog.
Great mask, dont need any other.

Not bad, Average
Reviewer:
Chris Ludwick
This wasnt my first choice, but they were out of my first two picks. The mask isnt bad at all, it does take some time to fit your face, but no leaks. It seems to fog a little more than normal. So i would say this is an avarage mask.

A Great Mask: Oceanic Shadow Mask
Reviewer:
Joshua Russo
oceanic shadow is truly one of the best mask for scuba diving. with its sleek exterior look and soft, all-silicone feel that hugs the contour of users face. it also gives incredible field of vision, since the glass of the mask is designed to be so close to the eyes. none the less, the downfall for this model is that it seems to fog up easier than other masks due to little distance between the eyes and the mask glass. overall, i rate this mask as top in my personal list.

Fits great. Reduces glare with the black skirt. Just because it fits me doesnt mean it will fit you. Always try before you buy but this one is a good one. I have used several masks over the years and this is as good as any and cheap.

During the first 3 times I used it (snorkeling), there was significant leakage, and no amount of tightening or re-positioning made it any better. It tended to leak through the seam where the rubber is right under the nose. My advice is not to get this mask unless you have a good amount of time to break it in. During my open water training, I noticed it leaking much less, and by the time I completed open water, it almost never leaked. I bought this for myself and the TUSA visualator for my gf, and she has never had a problem, so for someone who needs immediate results, Id recommend the TUSA instead.

good mask
Reviewer:

I just both this mask at the beginning of the summer and made about 18 dives with it. It’s very great but the only thing that I don’t like is the plastic buckles on the straps, you fell it when you don’t wear hood. However it is a very good mask. Frameless that mean great side view.

I dont really think I like this mask. Problem is that I really seem to have to suction the mask on my face so that no water drips in. It seems to drip in either through the nose, or the top right of the mask. Later the face just seems so worn out with the suction crease around the face. Also the fabric lycra strap seemed like a cool idea as it would not tangle or hurt the hair, but it takes a long time to dry before you store it away, and if you dont wash it immediately and dry it after your trip, it smells real bad. Hence some minor maintenance is required or your whole bag will smell.

i ordered this mask sight-unseen from scuba.com, which is a little risky with regards to getting a proper fit. i was pleasantly surprised with the mask good seal, comfortable, low volume, good range of vision.

Bill(Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com):

Any of the frameless masks would be a good choice. As long as the item is not used in the water you have 60 days to refund or exchange it.

Rob:

This mask says it comes with a "slap strap", what exactly is that? Is it neoprene with fabric straps or rubber straps?

Darrick(Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com):

Hello Rob, it is a fabric strap not rubber.

More About This Product

SHADOW

Maskwear that keeps you focused. Sleek 100% liquid silicone skirt attached directly to the tempered glass lens. No mask frame means the Shadow Series offers an incredible field of vision and packs flat. Available in 2 colors and 2 sizes for a perfect fit.

No-frame design reduces weight and provides one of the largest fields-of-viewExtremely low volume designSwiveling, easy adjusting bucklesIdeal for hunters and photographersPerfect back-up mask as it folds and fits easily in your BC pocket

Water is more dense than air, which makes objects look blurry. A mask provides an air spae in front of the eyes to eliminate distorted vision.

Preparation

Prior to using the mask for the first time, thoroughly clean both sides of the lens with a nonabrasive liquid detergent, or toothpaste, to remove any residue, then rinse with fresh water.

To prevent fogging during use, rub a 'no fog' solution, or saliva, on the inner surface of the lense while it is still dry, then rinse with water.

Adjust the strap so that it holds the mask comfortably and firmly in position on your face without being too tight or restrictive.

Use

Place the mask on your face and pull the strap over the top of your head.

To clear water that enters the mask, stand up or come to the surface and lift the bottom of the mask away from your face to allow the water to drain out. While underwater, tilt yourhead back and exhale gently into the mask while pressing the top portion with your fingers. Water will be forced out the bottom edge.

To eliminate mask squeeze caused by the higher pressures that are experienced when diving deeper than a few feet, exhale slowly into the mask through your nose as you dive deeper. To equalize pressure in your ears, pinch your nose closed with your thumb and finger and blow gently while holding your mouth closed.

Care and Maintenance

At the end of each day of use, rinse your mask thoroughly in fresh water and towel dry. Do not allow the clear silicone skirt or strap to come in contact with items that are black rubber. This will cause the clear silicone to become discolored. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive heat.Ensure that the mask is completely dry before storing. Store in a cool, dry location.
